The reason the establishment wants open borders... votes, but also the rich use them for labor..
the middle class in America.. the working man and woman... we don’t depend on gov.. we don’t want gov help.. just give us liberty and freedom to make it on our own..
SO... since gov can’t use us... we are not wanted nor are we considered in what they want.. they all.. dems and gop. want a group of people who depend on them and serve them.. they are getting the attention! Trouble with that is “we, the working people, are the majority”.. they hope to change that in the near future.

John Cornyn: “...there’s no interest in shutting down the government.”
The man’s a moron. If the Senate insists on playing games, and it will, I hope DJT closes the damned place down and goes to the People. Rest assured, the Base will support him.

Good old John “The Timid” Cornyn, the Texas Senator with no moxie. The President warned this group of quislings that he would never sign a spending bill like the last one he had to sign because of the military spending he wanted. So these pukes should have known the President meant what he said.

Only the Dems and Illegal Alien fans in the Republican Party will be upset if the government shuts down. It’s never long enough for the rest of us.

“...these senate GOP-e’s are disgusting, absolutely disgusting....”
Absolutely. They’re all UniParty hacks that have no interest in the country or its People, but instead, line their pockets with cash for themselves as they do the nasty evil work of the UniParty. They’re not Americans, even if they were born here, they’re socialist/globalists UniParty trash.

Everyone remember when we were told they’d get to it later but we had to pass the 1.3 trillion budget back in March?

No?

That’s they’re plan. They assume we forgot. So they’re pulling the same stunt again.

Support Trump. Shut down the government until we get The Wall.

Give him money for the wall and border security. It’s that simple.

Ummmm....no. That would benefit the country.

I honestly don’t see why Senate Pubbies are so shocked by Trump’s stance on the shut down. Trump was absolutely burned the last time as his base lit a major fire under his butt for signing the last funding bill. Do people honestly think he is going go through that again? Not likely.

They are terrified he’ll shut it down over this.

Which he should. He wins that battle any day of the week.

OK, but still wasn’t Trump demanding a real budget this time?

Risky if Trump holds firm or risky if Trump caves?

". . . Trump's decision to weigh in has thrown a wrench into talks."

They were down to haggling over how to disguise the stolen pork and now Trump wants them to do something the public actually wants?

What's worse is that a Trump veto might stick forcing them to actually give him the money.

Republicans in Congress are TERRIFIED they will have to back up their bullshit rhetoric with a vote that will alienate their donors.

I think Flake and McCain should be 1 and 2 but that is just me.

The Koch brothers group is not giving money to anyone that is anti-illegal alien.

I don’t want to hear any more BS from Cornyn. He’s all talk when it helps him raise money, but zip on accomplishments.
